Hey guys. I hope you are all still enjoying this story. I have a plan for a sequel for this story for when I finish it so I will keep you updated!

Also I have a few stories in the mix (now I have a couple of my other stories having ended or ending) and I would like to see what some people might like to see next. I still have my OQ college story that I did wan to start before but I hadn't quite got all the details sorted so there is still that one. Or I have an EvilCharming story, college based again with David Charming coming from a very rich family and wanting to rebel against them meeting the lovely Regina Mills who will be the one to help him. Or I also have had another idea recently from personal things and from watching a film. The idea is about Regina being diagnosed with early on-set Alzheimer and what the struggle would be for not only herself but for others around her.

So yes those are my ideas and I would appreciate it if you could give me some feedback on what you might like to see next. Thanks guys!


Three months had passed and things were going great. Regina was continuing to bond with her mother and father, as well as her brother and she supposed her step-mother Belle but she still felt a little awkward around her. Henry had seemed to spring out more and more embarrassing photos and videos of her which she effectively warned him that she was getting closer and closer to getting the boxes filled with his baby pictures and videos and showing them to everyone in town. Even the ones of him potty training. It was effective and he had given her most of what he had much to Neal's annoyance.

Things were going great. That was until one morning when Regina woke up feeling not quite right. She waited a moment trying to let herself wake up. Her head was aching, thumping as if someone was playing a drum in her head over and over and over again. Her body ached and she groaned not liking the start of this morning. Her stomach was twisting, the nausea setting in and she knew she needed to get up from the bed before she was sick all over it. So she pushed herself up groaning at the effort of the act and she stood up from the bed. The room spun a little and she stood trying to settle her head.

"Regina…"

She heard her name but she didn't want to call back. It would hurt her head and she was afraid if she opened her mouth she would be sick. Her hand flew to her stomach and she knew she needed to hurry no matter how dizzy she might feel. So she quickly made her way across the room and into her ensuite bathroom, shoving the door open so that it banged against the wall. Hurrying over to the toilet she lifted the lid and the seat just in time for her to empty the contents of her stomach into it.

"Regina?" Cora called again as she opened the door of her daughters room. She was sure she had heard movement from Regina's room. She waited for a minute and then heard the retching from the ensuite bathroom. "Regina are you alright?" Cora asked as she walked further into the room and into the ensuite bathroom to see Regina leaning over the toilet retching. Cora walked over to Regina and she knelt down beside Regina an placed her hand on her daughters back rubbing it soothingly as she scooped up her hair and held it from her.

"Thank…you…" Regina breathed out through retching. She waited for a couple of moments before reaching up and flushing the toilet. She then pushed herself away from the toilet. Cora moved backwards giving Regina some room as she leaned against the wall.

"I'd ask again if you are okay but clearly you're not. Were you feeling unwell last night?" Cora asked as she reached forward and placed her hand on Regina's forehead. "You feel very warm. I'm going to get the thermometer." Cora said as she stood up.

"I'm fine mom." Regina groaned as she slipped down the wall and lay down on the cool tiled floor of the bathroom.

"Yes because you look fine lying on the floor of your bathroom. I am going to get the thermometer and then we are getting you straight back into bed." Cora said before she turned on her heel and walking out of the bathroom. Regina just groaned and waved her hand at her mother in dismissal being too weak to worry about what her mother was saying. Cora soon returned and she knelt down in front of Regina and helped Regina to sit back up, leaning her against the wall. She placed the thermometer tip in Regina's ear and pressed the button waiting on the beep. When it beeped she took it away and looked at it with a gasp. "Regina you are 102 degrees."

"I don't feel it. I'm cold." Regina whined and Cora looked down at her daughter to notice she was shivering a little.

"Alright Regina. Let's get you back into bed." Cora said standing up and placing the thermometer on the counter and then helping Regina to stand up. Cora wrapped an arm around Regina's waist and wrapped Regina's arm around her shoulders. She helped Regina back through to her bedroom and over to her bed, placing her in the bed and putting the duvet back over her. "Okay Regina. You have a fever and you are feeling sick is there anything else wrong?" Cora asked as she sat on the edge of the bed after pulling the waste basket over to the edge of the bed in case Regina was sick again.

"My stomach hurts." Regina groaned and hid her face in her pillow.

"Alright darling. I'm going to go and phone the doctor and see what's going on. You just stay here." Cora said.

"Believe me I don't plan on going anywhere." Regina muttered pulling her covers over her.

Cora stood up from the bed and made her way out of the bedroom and downstairs to get her phone. She phoned the doctors and explained all of Regina's symptoms and was told it was just a normal stomach virus and Regina would be perfectly fine in a few days. Cora sighed as she hung up and then scrolled through her phone and found Rumple's number. She pressed dial and waited for Rumple to answer.

"Hello Cora. What can I do for you?" Rumple said.

"Regina's sick." Cora blurted out. She was worried. Even if the doctors had told her it was just a normal stomach virus that Regina would get over it didn't ease her worrying.

"This feels like déjà vu." Rumple replied before adding. "Is she okay? What's wrong with her?"

"The doctors say that it is just a normal stomach virus but it doesn't mean I'm still not worried. There is nothing I can give her this time. They said there is no medicine I can give her." Cora said.

"That's probably a good thing after how she reacted to taking medicine last time."

"Well she is an adult this time I don't think she would react the same way to taking medicine this time. Anyway Rumple that is not the point. She is sick and I don't know what to do." Cora replied.

"Cora we went over this last time. You can look after Regina. You did last time and you can this time." Rumple said. "Listen I will be over in half an hour okay? We can both look after her just like last time. She will be fine Cora. You don't need to worry."

"Okay…" Cora said and they both hung up. Cora sighed and she put her phone down on the coffee table before heading back upstairs and into Regina's bedroom. She walked over to the bed and placed her hand on Regina's forehead. "We need to try cool you down sweetheart." Cora said.

"I'm cold." Regina said as she moved her face away from her pillow a little to look at her mother.

"I know you might feel cold but your body is burning up Regina. I need to try cool you down." Cora said as she stood up from the bed and walked into the bathroom. She soon returned with a wet wash cloth and sat back on the edge of the bed and placed the folded wash cloth on Regina's head. "Are you still feeling sick?"

"Yes." Regina croaked out. "Are you going to stay with me?"

Cora smiled a little. "So your still needy when your ill? Even as an adult."

"Gotta be needy at some point." Regina mumbled. "Is dad coming over?"

"Yes. He will be here soon." Cora said leaning down and placing a kiss into Regina's hair. Rumple was right it was like déjà vu but she had another chance to care for her daughter.
